I've just installed pure-ftpd (version 1.0.33, which is better compatible with the Leopard-Snow Leopard-Lion) on Sorbet Leopard 1.5 Mac mini G4.
I've added a new virtual FTP user, macrumors using this command line:
Here, the option -D defines the home directory path for that user and its being capital means that user can go up that directory.
If it was lowercase, (-d) the user couldn't go up that directory, also called as the used is chrooted.
Problem is when I log in as macrumors, it can't go up /Users/mini.
On another Mac mini of mine (Mac mini late 2009) which runs the same version of pure-ftpd but runs Lion, when I add a new virtual user with exactly the same options, it works as expected i.e. I can go up the home directory, i.e. the root dir "/", browse the /Library, and so on.
Here's a screenshot which might show better what's going on in that Sorbet Leopard Mac mini G4:
